All Natural Cleaning Solutions

Lemons, toothpaste, table salt, and vinegar! You most likely have all these items in your home although for different reasons than what I am about to share. Did you know that they can also be used as a healthier alternative for very effective cleaning?

Take a look at the substances that are in the household cleaners you are currently using. Many of them contain toxic chemicals. Here’s a rule I follow: If you can’t pronounce it or recognize it, you probably don’t want to breathe it in! These chemicals are also very toxic to our water supply and the environment. Make the switch today, and combat dirt, stains, and grease naturally! Another added bonus… using natural ingredients is more affordable!

Who knew these household staples were so multi-talented?! Read on and share!

Great tips and reminders. I just used a cup of vinegar to clean my dishwasher yesterday. And I love using lemons to wipe my kitchen sink and run down the disposal. I find baking soda and vinegar can solve a lot of things, too. : )

I’m all about natural cleaning products! Why ‘clean’ messes with chemicals that are damaging to your health? Seems like making a mess out of another one. I think they’re often cheaper alternatives, too. Great post

Lemon juice is the perfect ingredient for homemade cleaners – it is a natural disinfectant and stain remover. To quickly disinfect any surface, cut a lemon in half, rub the cut side on anything from cutting boards to copper pots, and thoroughly rinse with hot water. To tackle stubborn stains, baking soda with just enough baking soda to create a paste that can be used to dissolve soap scum, hard water deposits, and even mold. For maximum efficiency, let the past sit for 10 minutes before wiping away with a damp cloth.
